The royal London Underground

Crossrail's new railway will be named the
Elizabeth Line after the Queen. If we wanted to rename the rest of
the Underground network after other members of the Royal Family
too, it might work, says Clare Bennett

The District Line

The Prince of Wales line

It's green and ambles along at a pace of its own choosing to
nice, leafy destinations like Richmond, Kew and Ravenscourt
Park.

The Circle Line

The Duke of Edinburgh line

Commuters can get very irritable on it. It's also a
bit creaky - and just goes on and on and on…

The Jubilee line

The Duchess of Cambridge line

Well turned-out, modern and has been very good for
business.

Waterloo and City line

The Prince George line

The smallest line - only two stops.

The Piccadilly line

The Duke of York line

Essential for travel to Knightsbridge and also goes
to Heathrow. International vibes.

The overground

The Prince Harry line

Currently nicknamed 'the Ginger Line'. Well
connected. All things to all men.

The Metropolitan line

The Earl of Wessex line

Sometimes you forget it's there.

The Northern line

The Duke of Cambridge line

Would probably keep going north all the way back to
St Andrews if it had its own way.

The Central line

The Duchess of Cornwall line

Runs right through the middle of things like a
backbone. When compared with the others, pretty solid and
reliable.
